New Day
Tamar Kaprelian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before the light I found the dark
Before tonight I feel apart
Frozen up I've realized that something's gotta change
It took a crash to understand

Time kept slipping through my hands
I never used to know
The sun will shine after the rain

Say goodbye, say goodbye to the way
I was before
Say hello, say hello to a new way
I was lost, but I found what

I was looking for
Waking up, waking up to a new day
A new day

I was sleeping in a twisted dream
Dying just to make believe
A pretty situation was far from where I was
But I'm not up for giving up
Lying down and out of luck
My mistakes are in the open and know I'm finally coming clean

Say goodbye, say goodbye to the way
I was before
Say hello, say hello to a new way
I was lost, but I found what

I was looking for
Waking up, waking up to a new day
A new day

Cause everything, everything
Ends at the start
I'm healing and feeling all of my scars

Say goodbye, say goodbye to the way
I was before
Say hello, say hello to a new way
I was lost, but I found what

I was looking for




Waking up, waking up to a new day
A new day

Did it work? It’s been 10 years…. Were you able to start brand new and actually FORGET the negative or hurtful things of your past?

@risendragongames

My daughter loved this song when she was younger. She’s 11 now and it’s one of her favorite songs to sing along to when her and I jam. Thank you, Tamar for your wonderful gift!
